CURTAIN FIXTURE Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 28, 1922.

Application filed May 31, 1921. Serial No. 473,757.

1 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, STEPHEN SIMON and \VILLIAM ONEILL, citizens of the United States, residing at New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful "Improvement in Curtain F ixtures; and we do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, and the characters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this application, and represent, in

Fig. 1 a face view of-a curtain fixture constructed in accordancewith our invention.

Fig. 2 a side View of the same.

Fig. 3 a top or plan view of the same.

This invention relates to improvement in curtain fixtures, or supports for window shades or curtain poles, or both, and particularly to devices which are secured in place without the use of nails'or screws, the object being to provide a simple arrangement of parts which is adjustable and which is easily secured in position and readily removable, and the invention consists in the construction as hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claim.

In carrying out our invention, we employ a top-bracket 5, comprising a flange 6 adapted to set over the upper edge of a window casing 7 This bracket extends downward over the face of the casing and is formed with flanges 8 and 9, each formed with vertically-arranged slots 10 through which an arm 11 extends, these arms being provided with openings 12 for the reception of the ends of a window shade roller fixture, and with a forked end 13 to support a curtain rod. Resting upon the arm 11, between the flanges 8 and 9, is a book 14: at one end of a chain 15, the other end being coupled with a latch 16 provided, on opposite sides, with lugs 17 for engagement with notches 18 formed in the flanges 19 of a bottom-bracket 20, which has an inwardly-projecting finger 21 t2 engage with the lower edge 01 the casing 1.

It will be understood that these are arranged for the rightand left-hand sides of the window.

To adjust the device, the arm 11 is passed through the flanges 8 and 9 of the topbracket and the hook la engaged therewith. The latch 16 is then engaged with the. bottom-bracket by having the lugs 17 engage with the notches 18, after which the latch is turned downward, as shown in Figure 2 of the drawings, soas to place the chain under tension and clamp the two brackets onto the window casing.

With this construction the arms 11. are adjusted to accommodate shade rollers of different lengths; the device is applied without screws and, consequently, can be put up without difliculty and may be readily removed, as occasion requires.

We claim:

A curtain fixture comprising top and bottom brackets, an arm supported by the said top-bracket, a chain hooked onto the said arm, and a latch connected with the lower end of the chain, said latch provided on opposite sides with lugs, said bottonrbracket having side flanges formed with notches for the reception of said lugs.

In testimony whereof, we have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribmg witnesses.
